Senator Voorhees, IL reported 60 say
Tag that The fisheries qaestion vsuld

most aTFant nonsense. UnqEestionably,

In thia sense the fisheries question

In every handfsd believe thss this treat

indian view Of the fisheries dispute.
Senator VOORHEES, In his interviews
however, goes from bad 20 Worse. After
asserting his belief that the fisheries
question will be al issue Ia the next
campaign. be adds that "Blaine's action
In the Eastern fsheTits dispute might

Blaine las taken no action In regard 10
the fisheries dispa.e and as be has been
10 no position TO take action II such had

lag is little obscure. IL he means 10
